Grillon De Monty
Grillon De Monty is an 11-year-old who has spent his career doing what many older horses do — picking up a win here and there while racking up places that keep him hanging around the racetracks. His record of 3 wins from 21 races means he wins roughly 1 in every 7 times he races, which is respectable enough for a horse at his level, though his recent form tells a different story. He hasn't found the winner's circle in his last six outings, and with his last win coming at Worcester on 31 August 2025 — now over a year in the past — he is clearly finding it harder to recapture the form that once brought him success.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Worcester is where Grillon De Monty has shown his best. He has won 2 of his 6 races there, a win rate that marks him out as something of a course specialist. That August victory at the track feels like a career high point for a horse who is now past his peak. The rest of his record is more modest. In Class 4 races — his usual level — he has managed just 1 win from 10 attempts. Away from Worcester, the wins have been harder to come by, with only his debut success at Huntingdon back in April 2023 keeping his tally above zero elsewhere.
Jockey Jamie Brace has ridden Grillon De Monty nine times and has won twice on him, a 22 per cent win rate that suggests a good working partnership. That is well above the horse's overall win rate, hinting that Brace gets the best from him when conditions align. Trainer Stephen Allen, operating from an undisclosed yard that has been relatively quiet this season with just 2 winners, sent the horse to race just a day ago. At 11 years old, Grillon De Monty is still active and still trying, even if the wins are becoming harder to find. For a horse who once dominated Worcester, that persistence counts for something.
